Chapter Ninety-Eight
Thinking like this, Banzhi just realized the current situation of Cen Mansion, and felt more pity for Cen Xijun in his heart. If Master Cen is still there and his leg is not injured, Cen Xijun can still be an idle master in a private school, which is better than being buried in the account book all day long and not sleeping peacefully.
"What are you looking at?"
Cen Xijun was originally settling Buzhuang's accounts, but Banzhi's gaze was so eager that he was a little distracted.
"Huh? Oh, the slave saw that Childe's handwriting was excellent, so she couldn't help but look at it a few more times. ”
Banzhi was caught by Cen Xi, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, so he just made an excuse and prevaricated.
"You can't read, how do you know that I can write well?"
When Cen Xijun heard this, he looked at the sporadic words he circled on the account book, which was really not good-looking, so he was a little disdainful of Banzhi's words.
“…… Although the slave is illiterate, but the beauty and ugliness can be distinguished, even if the child's words are scribbled, but every stroke is with strength, and it looks good together. ”
Banzhi didn't know where he had provoked Cen Xijun again, but he still seriously said the reason.
"Your words...... I can't count. ”
Cen Ximian hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and just when Banzhi thought that he was praised and happy, he came out with such a sentence very badly. In such a scene, Banzhi couldn't laugh anymore, so she simply didn't speak, just silently studied the ink, and the ink strips in her hand were about to be rubbed out by her.
Cen Xi glanced at the ink dots splashed on Banzhi Subai's wrist, frowned slightly, and didn't stop her, but quietly moved away.
……
It was getting late, a few stars hung in the dark night, and half of the branch pinched his sore arm and walked out of the study with a sad expression. I don't know how many times I've scolded Cen Xi, from the afternoon to now, she has been studying ink, and now not only can't lift her arms, but even her legs are even more lame.
"Yo! What's wrong with that, girl? ”
Coincidentally, Banzhi just walked under the porch and met Mama Liu again.
"Mama...... I'm fine. ”
Banzhi couldn't hide, so he had to cheer up and replied with a smile.
Mama Liu looked half of the branch up and down, and saw that half of the branch was rubbing his arm, walking a little awkwardly, her face was full of fatigue, and she had some guesses in her heart, after all, she knew that the young master left half a branch in the study for an afternoon, which was obviously a problem!
"Ouch! The young master is too...... How to ...... in the study In the end, young people don't know how to pity people! Girl, go back to the house and rest, and I'll bring you some food later!" ”
Half of the branch was surrounded by Mama Liu's words, and he turned his head to look at Mama who was smiling like a flower, a little stunned.
"Mama! I didn't touch her. ”
Mama Liu was about to leave with half of her arm in her arms, but was stopped by a clear voice.
Banzhi turned his head, but saw Cen Xijun coming out of the study at some point, and he was still standing behind her and Mama.
"Ah......h
Mama Liu was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Cen Ximian a little overwhelmed.
Banzhi hadn't reacted before, but now when she heard Cen Xijun say this, she immediately understood, and she couldn't help but blush for a while.
"It's not early, go and rest."
"You prepare hot water, I'm going to wash up."
Cen Xijun persuaded Mama Liu to rest, turned his head and smiled, and ordered Banzhi to boil water, his face changed so quickly that Banzhi was surprised.
……
Bucket after bucket of water was carried into Cen Xi's chamber, and it took five or six trips back and forth to fill most of the bath buckets. Cen Xiyun sat on the small collapse and read the book, compared to the sweaty and stumbling half branch, it was really comfortable.
"Alright, you go out. You don't need to wait here. ”
Cen Xijun said that he was reading a book, but in fact, he also paid attention to the movements of half a branch. He was just to toss her, so that she could rest her mind of climbing the bed, but when he saw the little girl lame, gritting her teeth and carrying a bucket in and out, he hesitated in his heart, and was disturbed by this inexplicable emotion, Cen Xijun simply opened his mouth and drove the person out.
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
Banzhi breathed a sigh of relief, respectfully retreated, and stood outside the door.
Banzhi bent down and rubbed his knees that were a little tingling, he really felt that it was not easy to serve Cen Ximi, such a picky and cautious man, no wonder the girl of the Yu family was going to marry another!
Thinking of Cen Ximian, Banzhi suddenly thought that Cen Ximian's wound could not be wet, so how could he bathe? Banzhi couldn't help but think of some strange postures in his mind, and he couldn't help laughing out loud for a while.
Cen Ximian in the house heard some suppressed laughter from the door, frowned, and was wondering what the girl was laughing at, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of his right leg on the edge of the bathtub, Cen Ximian looked stunned, and then his face turned red - angry! Although he didn't ask anything, and the girl didn't say anything, Cen Xijun just knew that she was laughing at his awkward posture in the bath!
Fortunately, Banzhi didn't make a sound, and Cen Xiyu was still sulking for a while. Banzhi sat on the steps of the doorway with his hands on his cheeks, looking up boredly and counting the stars in the sky, thinking about the profound question of why Cen Xi, a big man, took a bath for so long, when a loud noise suddenly in the wing room frightened her.
"Bang Chang...... Boom! ”
"Young Master? What's wrong with you, young master? ”
Banzhi hurriedly got up and knocked on the door to ask, but didn't hear any response, for fear that something would happen to Cen Xi, so he had to push the door in a hurry.
"Young Master!"
As soon as Banzhifu entered the door, he saw the crooked bath bucket and the bath water pouring all over the ground, and hurriedly took a few steps closer, only to find Cen Xijun lying on the ground under the screen that was buckled next to the wooden barrel.
"Young Master, have you been hurt anywhere? I'll help you up. ”
Banzhi walked over quickly, lifted the screen that pressed on Cen Xi's body, and grabbed his arm to help him up.
"Fuck off! Who allowed you in? Get out of here! ”
Before he could exert his strength, he was pushed to the ground by Cen Xiyi, and the skirt was wet. Cen Xi's face was covered with wet hair, and he was only wearing a moon-white shirt and dirty pants, and the belt was only tied in one place, loosely exposing half of his strong chest, and now he was rolling in circles on the ground, soaked in water, just like he didn't wear it.
Banzhi tilted his head a little embarrassed, and no longer looked at Cen Xijun, but he didn't mean to leave.
"Young Master, have you ever been injured in a fall?"
Banzhi hurriedly walked to the closet, took a robe and handed it to Cen Xixuan, and stubbornly asked him if he was injured.
"I told you to get out! Can't you hear me! ”
Cen Xijun didn't take the clothes handed over by Banzhi, but just roared at the side face of the girl in front of him with red eyes, like a wounded beast, shouting to drive away other animals that had invaded his territory, even if the other party was a non-lethal rabbit.
"Okay, slave and maid retire."
Although Banzhi couldn't see Cen Ximian, but listening to his hoarse scolding, he also knew that he didn't want anyone to appear in front of him at the moment, Banzhi was just worried about him, but now taking the initiative to leave, I'm afraid it is the best way. After Banzhi figured it out, he no longer hesitated, put the clean clothes in Cen Xijun's hand, and Banzhi bowed down and retreated, without looking at Cen Xijun.
Banzhi didn't go far, still guarding the door, if Cen Xihuan had something, she could take care of it. She leaned her ear on the door, and could faintly hear some rustling sounds. Banzhi lowered his eyes, and his face was a little complicated. Although she only glanced at Cen Ximian, that picture kept hovering in her mind, making her feel uneasy.
In her opinion, Cen Xijun has always been the pride of the sky, smart, handsome, with a good family background, personable, talented, it seems that all good adjectives can be piled on him, but in just one month, she saw him drunk and crying, bathing and falling. Although Banzhi often complains about Cen Xijun, it doesn't mean that she hopes that he will be unhappy.
The first sixteen years of Banzhi were miserable, so miserable that she almost couldn't survive. It's only now that she realizes that she is not the worst, and she was born with no one to love her anyway, so she doesn't expect anyone's love. Never sad about loss because she has nothing. But Cen Xijun is different, he has gained everything, whether it is wealth, fame, or beautiful flowers, it used to be something at his fingertips, but now he has lost everything, not even a sound body.
Half a branch can't hurt what he hurts, but if you think about it, the sourness can also be seen. Banzhi sighed softly, thought about it carefully, and finally decided not to scold him quietly in the future.
……
"Come in"
About half an hour later, a familiar voice came from inside.
Half a branch kicked the numb leg of the standing, and then pushed the door in.
"Young Master."
Banzhi still hung his head calmly, and his eyes were only staring at his toes.
"Look up."
Cen Xi looked at the quiet and well-behaved girl in front of her, her voice was slightly hoarse, without a trace of emotion.
Banzhi raised his head, revealing his white and tender face, and lowered his eyes.
"Didn't you rush in just now? Why don't you dare to look at me now? ”
Hearing this, Banzhi bit his lip, a little uncomfortable, hesitated for a moment and raised his eyes to look at the man sitting on the small collapse.
Cen Xi's hair was scattered, and the robe on his body was neatly buttoned, not the one that Banzhi gave him.
"The slave knows what is wrong."
Banzhi looked at Cen Ximi's appearance at the moment and was a little flustered, so he didn't reason with Cen Ximi, and only bowed his head obediently and admitted his mistakes. I don't know if it's because of the hair, the man's expression is gloomy and compassionate, with a depression that can't be dispelled by some candlelight.
"Huh...... You come here. ”
Cen Xijun chuckled, with a rare smile, and beckoned Banzhi to come over.
Banzhi pursed his lips, and slowly moved towards Cen Xi's place, guessing in his heart that he was not going to kill people now because he saw his troubles? Frightened, half of the branch almost turned around.
"Closer."
Cen Xiyi looked at the quail-like girl, raised his eyebrows slightly, and urged her to come closer.
Half of the branch was frightened by the evil meaning outlined by Cen Ximi's raised eyebrows, and when he reacted, he had already pinched Cen Ximi's chin.
"You hate me?"
Cen Xijun's right hand, which pinched half of the chin, felt the strength of the little girl's resistance, and used some force to twist the delicate skin with his fingertips before he spoke lightly.
"I didn't ...... No. ”
Banzhi was forced to kneel in front of Cen Ximian, and his somewhat panicked eyes were facing Cen Ximian's pale face, coupled with this series of abnormal behaviors, Banzhi really suspected that Cen Ximian was taken by evil ghosts! It's just that a good maid doesn't fight with ghosts, and Banzhi still answered Cen Xijun's question honestly.
Banzhi's eyes are clear, and he really didn't tell a lie, after all, Banzhi is a person with a soft personality, Cen Xijun loves to toss people, but he can't talk about hating it.
"And you like me?"
Cen Xijun seemed to be pleased by Banzhi's stupid and cowardly eyes, and a faint smile appeared between his eyebrows, and his expression softened suddenly. Banzhi was very close to Cen Ximi, and he was even more confused by him, and he couldn't help but ask himself, do I like him......
Cen Xi looked at the half-misty eyes, frowned suddenly, and vigorously slammed her to the ground. The sharp pain in her arm woke up the half-branch that was still in deep thought, and also made her feel a little aggrieved.
"What do you like about me? Is it the money of the Cen Mansion or this dough? ”
Cen Xi has seen that kind of look too many times, infatuated and lingering, but the person who looked at him with this kind of eyes in the past did not hesitate to leave him and marry someone else after his accident!
With just that glance, he could be sure that Banzhi liked him, but, what did he like? It can't be that he likes him as a cripple.
"The slave and the maid never thought about getting anything from the child, the lady and the son are the saviors of the slave and the maid, and the lady wants the slave and the maid to take care of the child, and the slave and the maid do so, and the slave and the maid are just fulfilling their promises, and there is no purpose other than that."
Half of the painful tears came out, but they were particularly stubborn and didn't allow them to flow out. Banzhi was very aggrieved, and was inexplicably treated like this by Cen Ximi, beating and scolding, as if she really wanted him something!
Banzhi thought so in his heart, and his mouth was hard. It's just that the only trace of weakness lies in whether she likes this grumpy son.
"Oh? My mother wants you to come? Didn't you kneel and beg my mother to shove you to me? I can see the look of gratitude to Dade like that. ”
Cen Xijun didn't listen to Banzhi's argument, and only remembered the appearance of the little girl kneeling in front of Mrs. Cen and kowtowing in thanks, and the anger and sarcasm in her heart were fierce and irrepressible.
He didn't know what he was angry about, but for now he blamed it on the annoyance of a scheming maid by his side.
Banzhi was stunned when he heard this, and then he figured out why Cen Xijun had such a big opinion about himself, and he had been caring about that matter. Banzhi thought that he had finished satirizing himself and suppressed himself into a room, even if this matter was over, where did he know that Cen Xijun could still be haunted by it!
Banzhi is even more aggrieved, this mother and son are about to kill the maid!
Obviously, it was Mrs. Cen's proposal, Cen Xi's family was unwilling, after all, he was someone's own son, and he would not be sold, but half a branch was different, if she dared to say that she was unwilling, I was afraid that she would be sent out immediately. Banzhi was forced to agree, in order to save his life, and he could still be hated by Cen Xi.
The tears in Banzhi's eyes rolled out in the end.
